Bulk Forbbiding and Reclaiming works wonders, but dumping stone hurts me thumbs.

a 20x20 Dining Room can drive me to tears.

Might we get a dump command in the designate menu like the forbid and reclaim?

Imagine if you will, digging out a mighty hall, then smoothing it out, and then dumping all the stone.

Or surviving a siege, then dumping all the goblin's narrow crap by simply dragging a box over the mound of dead g's.

I know all about and use right now the "build mason shop, make blocks" method, but all that does is shift the hauling stone work into hauling mugs or blocks.

I like to have a small pit in the corner of a 5x5 workshop area like so:

code:

....O
.WWW.
.WWW.
.WWW.
..>..

with the X being the stairs down towards the pit with the hole O.

I bring the rocks, dump them into the hole, and then reclaim and he's chugging along all nice. But I have to dump every single piece of stone individually.

Whaddya say Toady? a d -> D in the designations section?

With regards,
MickEfinn

It really should be a Enforced rule that people should use search before posting.

I myself am guilty of not searching once in a while.

I still approve of this, but it's not that big a problem unless there's a lot of stuff or people in the room im trying to clear; right index finger over arrow keys, left index finger over d, then mash them alternatingly.

There's a mass dump designator script for AutoHotKey on the wiki.

There needs to be a Mass Dump Option in the D menu....

It would be really nice of toady if he could get this in some time soon. I would really appreciate seeing it in.
